Sambhali Trust

Sambhali Trust is a non-profit organisation based in Rajasthan. Its primary objective is to promote self-esteem, economic independence, and the development of educational, vocational and social skills for underprivileged women and girls. We specifically work with the Dalit community who have little or no access to education or basic health services. Because of traditional gender roles and the highly stratified caste system, these women are unable to work towards financial independence. These women and girls often face a high level of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse within their family circle and community, but have no freedom to pursue a better life for themselves.

Sambhali Trust has worked hard for the past six years to help change the lives of women in Jodhpur and Setrawa, by providing them access to basic education, micro-financing and training in income-generating skills, such as sewing, embroidery, jewellery-making and colour-block printing.
